Greek Courses for Business in LutonPlease click a title below for further information: All over the UK, private individuals and professionals in a variety of companies have gained benefits by taking part in a Greek Language Course from SIMON & SIMON. With an average of 15 years’ experience, the native Greek speakers of SIMON & SIMON’s qualified teaching team tailor each course for the specific requirements of the student, from absolute novices to those with some experience.
Our clients reliably give excellent feedback on our Greek teachers. Each of our students receives an information profile on the background and experience of their Greek teacher before they commence their Greek lessons. New teaching approaches have revolutionised how modern language training is now approached. This training, with more fun and a more worthwhile experience means that it’s a far cry from what you may remember of studying languages in school.
When you start a Greek course in Luton, you will make progress from the very first lesson, as almost everything will be done in Greek. This is known as the Communicative Approach, and means that your confidence and ability will soon grow so that you can use Greek to communicate in social and business settings. The Greek courses that we offer can be run as 1:1 or group sessions. While most of our clients use 1:1 Greek training for their employees, group sessions can be good value. Participants numbers should be kept to 6 or less, and they will need to commit to meeting every week.
If you require faster progress, 1:1 Greek courses at Luton are more suitable as the lessons and course can be tailored to the individual’s needs while focusing on their specific weaknesses and strengths. Greek Course ManagementEvery SIMON & SIMON Greek language course is overseen by one of our highly experienced Account Managers, all of whom are multi-lingual.
At the start of your Greek language course we will send you a profile on your trainer, followed by a Course Plan and relevant course materials, and then a Progress Report after every 40 hours of training. You will also receive a copy of our quarterly newsletter, Breaking the Language Barrier, featuring a superb prize draw and invaluable weblinks to language learning sources. We have a global network of language trainers so our Greek language courses can be arranged for almost any major European city, or even further abroad. SIMON & SIMON have run Greek language courses for clients in many diverse locations.
Greek language courses can be run in your home for your convenience, but many of our clients prefer to run them in their offices so as to minimise travel.

Some of our students attend more than one 90-minute weekly session if work circumstances allow, and most will attend at least one per week.
Weekend Courses in Greek can be arranged on request. Our Greek courses are available 12 hours a day, from 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday.
30 hour per week intensive Greek courses can be held on clients’ premises or in residential centres in the UK or abroad. These courses take 6 hours per day, Monday through Friday. We will tailor your Greek language course for your specific aims and level of knowledge. Before you start your Greek language course we will assess your goals and level of Greek experience.
Your desire to learn Greek may be simply to develop basic skills, or you may have some level of proficiency and wish to increase your ability to use Greek to discuss business.
You may want to develop your language skills so that you can use Greek in negotiations and meetings or improve your pronunciation and telephone skills.
No matter what goals you have, you can be confident of our Greek trainers experience and that your Greek language course is tailored to your needs and your goals will be quickly met. Greek Language Examination CoursesOur students’ pass rate for Greek examinations is at 95%, and we are happy to help with the preparations for any such examination. Our high pass rate shows the value of working with Greek teachers in Luton who have a higher level of experience than average.
SIMON & SIMON also arrange registration for Greek examinations as well as administering the examination and issuing the results. The table below is based on recognised language levels used by various academic institutions accross the European Union. A highly motivated student attending weekly sessions with their language trainer can expect to move from one level to another after 50 hours providing they also commit to a similar number of hours of self-study.
Of course, some people find learning languages easier than others, and some students will have more opportunities to practise the language in the course of their work and leisure, so these factors also need to be considered when trying to assess how long it will take to move from one level to another.

SIMON & SIMON International Breaking the Language Barrier Back to top of Greek Courses Luton Greek an independent branch of the Indo-European family of languages, is the language of the Greeks. Native to the southern Balkans, it has the longest documented history of any Indo-European language, spanning 34 centuries of written records. Its writing system has been the Greek alphabet for the majority of its history; other systems, such as Linear B and the Cypriot syllabary, were previously used. The alphabet arose from the Phoenician script, and was in turn the basis of the Latin, Cyrillic, Coptic, and many other writing systems. Luton is a large town and unitary authority of Bedfordshire, England, 30 miles (51 kilometres) north of London. Luton and its near neighbours, Dunstable and Houghton Regis, form the Luton/Dunstable Urban Area with a population of over 240,000. Luton is home to Blue Square Premier team Luton Town Football Club, whose history includes several spells in the top flight of the English league as well as a Football League Cup triumph in 1988. They play at Kenilworth Road stadium, which has been their home since 1905. London Luton Airport, opened in 1938, is one of England's major airports. During the Second World War it doubled as an RAF base. The University of Bedfordshire is based in the town. The Luton Carnival, held on the late May bank holiday, is the largest one-day carnival in Europe. The town was for many years famous for hat-making and was also home to a large Vauxhall Motors factory; the head office of Vauxhall Motors is still situated in the town. Car production at the plant began in 1905 and continued until 2002, but commercial vehicle production remains.
